Café Futur: Event series on sustainability and climate protection
The Essentials Events:
Café futur #7: Facts and myths about recycling, 28.11.2024
Language: Swiss German
Refreshments: Drinks at cost price (Twint/Cash)
What can you expect?
Café Futur is a series of events that present and discuss current information on sustainability and climate topics. Here, you have the unique opportunity to talk about these important issues in a relaxed atmosphere with experts and other interested individuals, gain new perspectives, and make connections. The goal is to inform, raise awareness, inspire, and hopefully create a better future together in a personal yet collective way. Diversity and education are particularly important to us - the more diverse the group of participants, the more exciting the conversations and the more open the newly acquired perspectives. Café Futur looks forward to your participation!
Where does it come from?
The idea for Café Futur arose from a collaboration between representatives of Klimagrosseltern Stadt Bern and the Wyss Academy for Nature, who aim to promote intergenerational exchange and commitment to sustainability and climate protection.
How does it work?
Café Futur starts with a one-year pilot phase consisting of six events. The premiere took place as part of the Bern Sustainability Days on September 21, 2023. Currently, Café Futur is held approximately every 2-3 months, generally on the last Thursday of the month from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM at Kochergasse 4 (ground floor) in Bern. For exact dates, see the flyer. Participation in the events is free.
Join Café Futur and get inspired by current topics around sustainability and climate protection. Together, we can make a positive contribution to our future - including broadening our personal and thematic horizons. We look forward to seeing you!
Café futur #7: Facts and myths about recycling
The next event will take place on Thursday, 28 November 2024 between 19:30 and 21:00 at Kochergasse 4 in Bern.
How is recycling and the circular economy developing in Switzerland? What are the actual benefits of recycling? What challenges are there and how can we contribute to a more circular economy in everyday life? These and other facts and myths surrounding the topic of recycling will be highlighted and brought to the point by Patrik Geisselhardt at Café futur on 28 November using concrete examples.
Patrik Geisselhardt has been working in the field of recycling for over 25 years. He is a business economist, environmental engineer and managing director of Swiss Recycle, the umbrella organisation for 360° recycling management in Switzerland.
